The upward momentum of Roberto Íñiguez’s team was confirmed with a +10 start (27-17). But a 0-7 run revived Toulouse (27-24). When the visitors got closer, Spar extended their lead again thanks to their outside success: with two 2+1s from Coulibaly and two three-pointers in a row from Jocyte (44-31). The defensive adjustments of the French team did not change the script and, before the break, Juste and Carter also punished from long distance to leave for the locker room with a 52-39 lead.

The Girona team’s vertical rhythm was maintained in the second half at the pace of Arica Carter, scoring from all positions to make it 62 to 47 (15 points).
